Dushtavrana (Chronic nonhealing wounds) are commonly encountered problem in the surgical practice and are major concern to the health care system. Presence of necrotic or devitalized tissue is commonly seen in chronic wounds which delays wound healing. Removal of necrotic tissue/slough/exudates provides a favorable environment that promotes wound healing, lowering bacterial burden and reducing malodor. Kshara karma is indicated in the management of chronic wounds which are difficult for shodhan [1]. Kshara karma with Palasha mrudu kshara is useful in such condition. So, here is a case presented with three nonhealing wounds over anterior aspect of left leg. Palasha mrudu kshara was applied on alternative day until the Shuddha vrana laxanas were obtained; further daily dressing was done with Jatyaditaila until complete wound healing. Hence, it can be estimated that Palasha mrudu kshara possess Vranashodhana property and it can be used in the management of Dushtavrana.
